The Bronx Zoo

The coolest zoo to view
With an all-around great crew

The children are running
Tiger Mountain is stunning

Hear the tigers chuffing
See the parents huffing

At Bird World, people are pouring
To see the birds soaring

Take a ride on the monorail
Around the Wild Asia Trail

In the Children’s Zoo, oh what fun
To visit the farmyard in the sun

The Indian Gharials are basking
While the children keep asking

Little penguins are splashing
The cameras are flashing

The lion pride roars
And the snow owl soars

Ring tailed lemurs leaping
While the Fossas are creeping

A Snow Leopard on the prowl
A Gelada Baboon with a smile

Western lowland gorillas interact
While the Okapi families attract

Sea lions are flipping and diving
Zoo babies are growing and thriving

Monkeys are climbing and swinging 
While their little babies are clinging
